The WUSHU Ruyi story is tied to the story of two Italian brothers: Walter and Paolo Lorini. Two renowned champions, martial arts masters who turned the queen of the Asian disciplines into their source of absolute dedication: Wushu. In 1968 the Lorini brothers start playing Karate and they become main protagonists of it very soon. In 1978 they are the first Italians who migrate to Wushu and focus on the practice of this discipline. And in 1985 Walter and Paolo created the first shoes specific for this sport: that’s how the “Wushu” were born.
